The following timer settings are available:
The settings above are self-explanatory. When the Timer action (key or gesture) is invoked, if the timer is not already running, the first setting is used. If the Timer action is invoked again within 5 seconds, it goes to the next setting and so on. This way you can cycle through all the settings.
If the timer is already running, the remaining time period is spoken. Again you can at any time cycle through the available settings by invoking the Timer action within 5 seconds.
When the timed period ends, if the Player is playing any media, it is stopped and depending on the settings, the device is set to sleep mode. You can wake up your device in the usual way by pressing a key or button.
Battery monitoring provides the following information where relevant:
AC power On
When the power cord is connected to the device and power is available.
Charging
When the AC power is On and the battery is actually charging; this information is not supplied if the AC power is On but the battery is already charged.
Percent charged
Percent charged of the battery's full capacity.
Time remaining
Estimated Time remaining in hours and minutes before the battery is completely discharged.
The accuracy and consequently usefulness of this estimation can vary enormously as it depends on the device's internal battery monitoring.
Battery monitoring is provided both automatically and on-demand.
Automatic monitoring of the battery charge is conducted in the background continuously. The first check is conducted a couple of minutes after SpeakOn is started and subsequently by checks every 30 minutes. The user is notified if the charge drops below 20%.
